Bertinchamps 01 Pamplemousse. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Hazy pink/orange colour, white foam. Nose of grapefruit, sweet candy, wheat, bitter notes. Sweet, malty and hoppy with lots of grapefruit.

330 ml bottle. Grapefruit, weed, ginger, some herbs, sugar. Dry zesty sourness and bitterness with some fruity sugary sweetness. Light bodied, watery texture, lively to fizzy carbonated, dry zesty bitter sour finish. Not bad, but needs more refinement.

Thick, dense, yellowish head, stable and leaving lacerings over pinkish tinted golden beer, finely carbonated. Very intense pink grapefruit nose, or as opening an ugli. Really fruity nose, and smelling as the real fruit. There is also a spicy hint, I was thinking of just a bit of coriander. Alas, that is initially, because after only a short warming up, the intense grapefruitnose becomes artificial, smelling as a soapy detergent. And it goes wrong in the flavour as well, with a wry, bitterish spice - obviously ginger - pushing the fruit/grapefruit to the back. Still, we get grapefruit with just a bit of grapefruitpeel backthroat and suspiciously many fruitsugars. Eventually the ginger beats retreat. Spritzy, light, long lasting flavours. Too much sugars in the end to be refreshing. Mixed feelings here.
